God bless him.
I think Harris is overwhelmingly likely to be the nominee. Shapiro, Bashear, or Whitmer as VP, IMO.
Momentous decision by Biden. Whether it works remains to be seen, but he’s putting what he believes to be the benefit of the nation ahead of his personal glory, so good on him.
Are any major news sources reporting this yet, or is it just on Twitter? That seems very odd.
I can’t help but think it was my strongly-worded admonition that sealed it.
Fox has reported it but only lists X as the source.
It’s literally Biden’s announcement as it happened. What do you want?
OK so… who starts the thread about the selection of the new ticket?
At this point, this feels like action as opposed to inaction, which always feels good… we’ll see if it nets something positive, but it’s nice to be off of a slow train to nowhere.
I want the president of the United States to issue such an important statement in some manner other than a tweet.
Confirmation is what I wanted. ABC is now reporting it as well. I don’t believe everything that comes up on Twitter no matter how legitimate it looks.
Harris-Bullock.
Go for the win
Exactly.
Moderating:
Time to start a new thread. This one has aged out. Unless your post pertains specifically to Biden leaving the race, your post belongs elsewhere.
His press release also says he’ll be making live statements…
You want someone other than Biden to confirm Biden’s words?
I suspect the win will be Trump.
LMFAO!
In this misinformation age? Yes, I did (past tense now as it has been confirmed).
Wow! What a week!
Will be interesting to see who the party picks. No reason it should automatically be Karris (and I truly fear the racist, misogynist vote). But I would strongly support her.
I’d probably suggest Whitmer. Would help in a battleground state, and make it easy to emphasize the danger of rightwing crazies.
I’m happy for Biden. No reason he should continue to put himself through this.
Wow. I’m very surprised that my first reaction is sadness. Best of luck to him: he has done a great job.
Best of luck to us, who need it.
